I just ordered a set of these. Mine will be the second set sold. Trev at Flexi-Glass told me that they are about 1.5" narrower per side than his original ram air panels. And, they are cheaper and include a new belly pan.

Now I can also trim up my nose fairing to make it narrower, like the 1190 fairing. I couldn't do this with the stock side panels because to me it wouldn't look right. Now with a narrower bike it will work.

Will they work with the fans or are they race use only? Also how much? Merci

They are $985, no fans, race only. Trev also said that these are a lot easier to mount than the first version.

These work with the stock mounted radiators?

The whole point of the ram air system is to replace the radiator mounts with these so that hot air is directed out away from the frame and doesn't cook your gas.

It also allows much more cooling air to flow at speed than if you had the fans in the way.

It's a great setup

So glad I waited.

Knickers, stock radiators and they supposedly don't require special mounting.

And, this setup up is 15 - 20 pounds lighter because you can throw the fans and mounting system away.

Cool. Be sure the post some photos when you've got them mounted up.

I've been getting by with the stock pods & no fans but on hot days it runs hot. Good thing races are only 8 laps.

If I had them I would post them. I'm not a dealer. Just a buyer. You could always email or call Trev at Flexi-Glass. That would actually help get some pics.

As soon as I get some mounted I'll post pics, but first I have to get them here.
